It's always nice to celebrate the successes of CodeBase companies, so a massive congratulations to Float for their latest round of investment. Float is a cashflow forecasting tool you can use with your existing accountancy software - their vision is to make forecasting accessible for small business owners.

Following on from previous investment of £100k, they've raised £225k from local angels Rob Dobson and Michael Berman. Since their last round, the team has doubled in size to 10 people, including new CTO Graeme Boyd and Ewan McCowen who has taken on the role of head of marketing.

One of the most exciting developments on the horizon is integration with Quickbooks. Having celebrated in typical CodeBase fashion with beer and cake on Friday night, some of the team are off to San Francisco this week for Quickbooks Connect where they'll be officially launching next week. Best of luck to the team! Have fun!
